Hey Roger,
Take pity on us Digest readers and leave out (cut off) the repeat of the
message.  Especially one so rambling as you included in your reply...
  It was long the first time (and I read it all, with enjoyment) but the
second time, it just is another batch of old bandwidth that we've all read
once and now have to scroll through to get on with the new stuff.
  Thanks...grin..
  Don Hanson

much to the chagrin of editors and other purveyors of the english style
books -
